It's What Pays The Bills

VERSE 1:
I am sitting on a chair
And you're over there
Sitting on a picnic rug
You, you make it all so clear
To me sitting here
And it makes me want to shrug
Oh oh oh it's so
Oh oh oh it's so
oh oh oh it's so clever
Oh oh oh we know
Oh oh oh we know
oh oh oh now or never
CHORUS:
It's what pays the bills
VERSE 2:
You, you make it crystal clear
Just what you want to hear
Yeah on the radio
Oh oh oh we're so
Oh oh oh we're so
Oh oh oh we're individual
COUNTER CHORUS:
You got your got request

Beautiful (2013 Version)

VERSE 1:
When life is an open book
You read it when you can remember
To take the chance you took
And close your eyes til September
When nobody is home
And you're feeling alone
Look up and I'll be there
CHORUS:
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You're beautiful tonight
VERSE 2:
When angels turn away
And you're feeling like an empty heart
You know that I'm here to stay
You know I'll always play my part
When nobody's home
And you're feeling alone
Look up and I'll be there
BRIDGE:
Don't turn your back on me
You know you'll always be

VERSE 1:
Your first day at school
Taught you kids were cruel
Tied you by your shoes
Stole your toys for news
But you did not cry
No you were polite
And they pushed you to the ground
Not a sound
CHORUS:
You're the last one picked
You get so sick of it
But it's you're destiny
So take a breath and leave
The only way you can
VERSE 2:
At the formal night
You dressed up, just right
You looked great looked fine
They all crossed the line
But you did not cry
You just said goodbye
And they drank themselves to sleep
But not me
BRIDGE:
I do not think that was fair (of them so say)
I do not think that you deserve to be hated (no I don't)
I do not think that your destiny's hopeless
You can change it yourself
VERSE 3:
In your bedroom now
You'll get through somehow
I watch on from space
Long to touch your face
But I will not cry
As you heave a sigh
I will catch you once again
Cause you're my friend
CHORUS 2:
And we're the last ones picked
We get so sick of it
It's not our destiny
It's not for you nor me
To be the last ones picked
And we're so sick of it
We'll take our destiny
And bring it to it's knees
The only way we can

VERSE 1:
Packing my things, making my way out past the memories
Playing the game, taking the blame I fly out to the trees
Clearing my head, waking the dead beside their childrens' dreams
Filling the holes, climbing the poles that watch me tear the seams
CHORUS:
Wake up, get up, it's your time to shine
Wake up, get up, or you'll lose your mind
Wake up, get up, it's your time to shine
VERSE 2:
Hearing the breeze, climbing the trees that stand so tall to me
Digging a hole, filling my soul so I can help you breathe
Swallow the night, never alright you smile and drink your tea
Selling your soul, losing control you smile and preach at me

VERSE 1:
You take a left but I stick to the right
I'd sit with you, even if it's all night
Missed you for hours, for minutes, for days
Told you I loved you, in a thousand new ways
CHORUS:
And you do feel like a girl with a
Bruise over your heart like I
Do feel like a boy with a
New shiny new toy
VERSE 2:
Cut me to pieces with words like knife
Home to the west, could I ask you to drive?
Free like a bird, with a roof over head
Trade off the ceiling, for a cage near the bed
BRIDGE:
Everything's moving, I can't stand around
You taste the best, but I can't stand my ground
Told you I loved you, but that's not the end
Love is a message, so can't we be friends?
COUNTER BRIDGE:
Answer the question, unless I propose
I thrive on action, and anything goes
We're so, unusual, but you still agree
Your (it) heart explodes with a love kept for me
